Three works, two for large ensembles of performers on sax, guitar, clarinet, voice, percussion, horn, flute, vibes, and objects that belie the size of the group in its fragile presences, with a shorter trio of Frey, Greg Stuart and Erik Carlson transitioning the large pieces; compositions conceived as both short presences within abundant orchestration.

"We combine the aspect of construction with safety and durability, while the ephemeral is somewhat uncertain, impermanent and not easy to grasp. Thus, construction and ephemerality seem to be opposites, but in a piece of music both can be present simultaneously and equally. On the other hand, the sum of constructive processes and clear formal decisions leads to a clear architecture. On the other hand, the temporal sequences and the openness of the materials keep the music in the hover and bring it back into the areas of the airy and fleeting. One has to go out of the way of the convincing, the power of construction, in which construction becomes fragile and permeable. On the other hand, this gives the ephemeral the opportunity to develop presence and to give a glimmer of durability in this presence. An essential part of the work takes place in this intermediate area. A construction that is almost unaffected leads to a music that simply wants to be sensation. A fragrance, light and shadow, far-haired, a look, a landscape."
